A heart lung machine (HLM) comprising:
- a trolley comprising a base and a mast assembly coupled to the base and extending upwards from the base;
- a venous reservoir coupled to the mast;
- an oxygenator coupled to the mast;
- a plurality of pumps coupled to the mast;
- a plurality of actuator control units (ACUs), each of the plurality of ACUs operably connected to one of the plurality of pumps;
- a control assembly comprising a control display and a plurality of input control devices operably connected to one of the plurality of pumps;
- wherein the control display is configured to display a set of parameter data associated with operation of the HLM, the set of parameter data including a representation of a parameter value and an associated indication;
- wherein the control display is coupled to the mast proximate the venous reservoir and the oxygenator;
- and
- a peripheral display coupled to the mast at a location spaced apart from the control display, the peripheral display configured to display a plurality of HLM parameter values.
